Cagers Sweep Bruin Series For Title
by Don Simonian Daily Trojan Sports Editor
It’ll be the TROJANS and the Oregon State Beavers in battle for the Pacific Coast Conference cage title this weekend.
Impossible, incredible, unthinkable, or inconceivable— call it what you may, but Coach Forest Twogood’s inspired cagers gained the right to meet the Northwest power for the title with a pair of sensational weekend wins over the UCLA Bruins at Westwood (yep, that’s right—WESTWOOD!). Given only a slight chance of breaking even against the Bruins in their own gym, the Trojans stunned the sports world with 79-68 and 69-67 victories over John Wooden’s Wonder Boys.
But Troy’s undisputed claim to the Division title was not just a matter of beating the Bruins twice in that infamous Westwood sweatbox. Rather, it was a story of an uphill battle of pure determination and guts.
Two short weeks ago, the Trojans were buried in third place behind the Cal Bears and the Bruins—exactly how preseason dopesters figured the Southern Division race would end. The Trojans, who were picked only for a spoilers role on behalf of either the Bears or the Bruins, then supposedly clinched the crown for Brother Bruin with two wins over the Bears.
The Trojans didn’t win much praise for that sweep— something about the faltering Bears being too tired to give the Trojans too much competition. And so, Twogood’s lads
entered weekend play as just a good and hustling team— but not in the class of the Bruins, winners of their last 13 games.
Everything in Favor of Bruins
Everything favored the Bruin cause—statistics, home gym, and the need of only a series split to the win Division championship. As one local sportscaster put it, “The guy who picks SC to win two against UCLA is probably the same guy who thinks he can beat the races.”
Well, we don’t know about the pari-mutual antics of Twogood and his cagers—but they knew they could beat the Bruins twice and promptly set about to the task of doing exactly that.
For those statistically inclined, the Trojan wins brought
to a halt the 13 game win streak of the Bruins. They were also the first looses suffered by Brer Bruin in 21 games at Westwood this season.
As for that sweep, it was only the second one handed to the Bruins under the Wooden regime. Only the powerful Bear five of 1953 was able to duplicate that double win feat. Wooden’s six year Westwood gym record now stands at 79-10.
As for the Trojans, it was their first Division title in 11 years. Although sharing the crown with the Bruins in 1951. the Trojans lost the bid to play the Northern titlist followin' a playoff losS to the Westwooders.
Tough Figiht Ahead for Troy The Bruins don’t have to worry about adding or sut

At Budget Cost
How would you like to invest $2.50 »and get 50 times that sum in return?
A chance to get $125 worth of tickets to sport, cultural, and other entertainment will be offered students, beginning tomorrow', by Squires, sophomore men’s service group.
The ticket book, “Fun on a Budget,” containing dozens of top value passes, sells regularly for $3.50, but Squires President Bob Gerst said his group will cut a dollar from the price.
Advertisers representing theaters, movie houses, ice skating rinks, fight arenas, golf courses, riding academies, and almost every other type of entertainment place have combined forces to put on this publicity campaign at virtually no cost to the buyer.
Most of the tickets will be honored until Aug. 15, and some of the tickets are good for a longer period.
Gerst said the money made by Squires on the project will go mostly to the Trojan Chest Charity drive.
The book contains $4 in tickets to the Greek Theater this summer; $7.20 to boxing matches at the Hollywood Legion Stadium;
$6 to Mt. Waterman ski school;
$14 to Veloz and Yolanda Studios; and about $10 to movie studios.
Gerst said Squires would sell the ticket books in a booth in I ed a small trophy. The remaining front of the Student Union and at three candidates received heart-houses on the Row.	I	shaped compacts.

The remaining three girls in the final eliminations were Gretchen Kane, Dee Gee; Mary Laird, Pi Phi; and Doris Ritter, AChiO.

Two-Bits Buys Ticket To Film Production
by Roy Nevins
Two-bits today buys;
A package of cigarettes. They last about a day and dizzy the mind with thoughts of mice and cancer.
A call to Malibu.’' This lasts about five minutes and sometimes ends in frustration.
Five candy bars. The time these last depends on the guy or doll bolting them.
The “Wampus” magazine, also “Help,” “Kelp,” and the rest of the “elps.” Duration? Debatable.
Two-bits today also buys a look-see at a movie—some of the world’s top productions. Each lasts about two hours and offers an evening of entertainment, sometimes provocative; othertimes, lightly human.
At least so observed Roy Rogaway, co-chairman of the Film Classics series, whose beginning will be screened starting Tuesday, Mar. 2.
Tickets are $3 each for 12 showings of pictures from the U. S., Spain, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Mexico, and Russia. Two Days Left Included in the group filmed in the U. S. is “Johnny Belinda,” about a deaf-mute played by Jane Wyman, an actress who got an Academy Award for keeping her mouth shut.
“But there are only two days left to purchase tickets. And movie-going students would do well to take advantage of the classic bargain today,” Rogaway said.
The Classics are held on Tuesdays with showings at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. in rooms 133 and 229 respectively.
All foreign language films have English sub-titles.
Chaplins Quartet Rated by movieland’s “Variety” as “the most acclaimed film-maker in the world,” Charlie Chaplin contributes a quartet of films, “The Tramp,” “The Women,” ‘The Bank,” and “The Police,” will also be show^n.
Russia’s classic is the “Magic Horse,” an animated cartoon, feature length, and based on Russian folk tales. The production spanned two years and covered 150,000 drawings.
Steinbeck’s contribution is “The Pearl,” a tale of what happens to a Mexican fisherman, his wife and infant son when the fisherman finds a pearl of “fabulous size and beauty.”
Campus Groups To Attend First Publicity Series
9
The first in a series of meetings designed to aid publicity chairmen of all campus groups in getting better DT coverage for their organizations will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the International Lounge.
The conferences are sponsored by the ASSC Senate Committee on Public Relations, which asks that representatives from service clubs, interest groups, fraternities, sororities, political parties, and dorms attend tomorrow’s session.
The campus news sources will hear DT Editor Hank Alcou-loumre stress the need for organization of publicity so that all groups can get adequate coverage in the paper.
Posters
Shelley Jones, APhiO president, will tell the group how posters can be distributed.
A1 Mour, head of the Public Relations Committee, said the purpose of his committee is to help publicists get news in the DT and to perform special services, such as procuring celebrities at dances, for their organizations.
He will also tell them how to work with the University New£ Bureau for coverage in the downtown papers and will give specifications on deadlines, photographs and datelists.
Publicity
Alcouloumre said publicity chairmen should attend the meetings because they are the
main sources for news of the activities of the various organizations, schools, and departments on campus.

“and thanks to our advertisers, we plan to publish two more issues after this one.”
May Be Monthly Pflimlin said he hoped that Wampus could again be set up on a monthly basis.
“With our current advertising scheme of selling ad space for more than one issue to a single advertiser, we can be assured of printing our subsequent issues of the magazine,” said Larry Gran-nis, advertising manager.
“The favorite column of students three years ago, ‘Roses and Razzes,’ will be revived in this issue with the hopes that its contents will be taken with a grain of salt,” said Dick Hamilton, assistant editor.
An amazing story of two sets of twins, a parody on Look’s Photocrime, a take-off on Life’s Speaking of Pictures, and a pictorial review about Arthur Godfrey will be the photo features for this Wampus, according to Pflimlin.
Chinese Sexologist He said the special stories would include those about a Chinese sexologist and his Phi Beta Kappa key, a frustrated college graduate who recalls his four years at SC, a student who has a secret meeting with a lovely young thing, an eccentric explorer who catches a condor, and a crazy batch of television definitions, SC version.

A cartoon caption contest will also be presented with $10 going to the student who can write the funniest caption for a captionless cartoon that is pictured in Wampus.
“Oodles of Jokes”
“Of course, there will be oodles of jokes, scads of hilarious cartoons, and a two-page satire, in cartoon form, of William Shakespeare, by Art Editor Raleigh Wil-k?rson,” Pflimlin said.
“The ads are even funny and very artistically designed,” said Grannis. “We received help from Ralph Johnstone, fine arts professor and Pat MacLean, an outstanding characturist.”
"Cartoon art credit goes to Wilkerson, Glenn Adamson, Dick Hamilton, Bill Seelig, and Bard,” he added.
“We have even inserted some fake ads which look pretty realistic,” said Hamilton.
